Would have love to went but after a whirlwind Friday and facing another run the same distance run as Bloomington I wasn't up to it. It sounded like it was a success from all the reports I've heard. I hope I can make the next show.

I hope BOSS and non-wing sprint racing an continue to make inroads further into Ohio. Best of luck Aaron.

It may have been a descent show,but its going to take more than 15 cars for the series to survive. Really should have had more cars with Waynesfield and Lawrencburg not running.

It was there first race,in the middle of a wing state.Maybe that why the series you were in with failed, they expected instant 40 car fields.

I was expecting a few more cars. However, if you look some waynesfield cars went to the mts race in michigan. A few others were running 360s at eldora. I would have really liked to have seen westfall there but it was still good. Oh, the ovsa winged 410s only had 10 cars on saturday in wv so it could have been worse.

If you are referring to ASCT, I never expected 40 car fields, so I don't know where you got that. I said from the get go after John decided to open it up we would lose anything he thought we would gain and that is exactly what happened. Look at MTS, they had a good,solid 22 car field on the same night in a Winged State, so what's your point?

We lost 5 cars to Eldora, another car was crashed on Friday night at Wayne County, and 2 of my committed drivers had engines down for the weekend. We lost 2 of our drivers to the MTS race because it was a 2 day Michigan vs Ohio deal.

BOSS paid a higher purse and has an open tire rule. It will pay off for us in the long run. Don't forget, MTS has been around for a few years and BOSS was BRAND NEW. I think this is the first time in a LONG while a brand new deal has come about an nobody is bashing us...... and all 15 drivers left extremely happy with us.

Forgot to add.............THANK YOU to everyone posting the positive comments. My officials and myself really appreciated all the kind words Saturday night and on here. I'm working on some dates in August. I've said from the beginning, I'm after QUALITY, not quantity in my scheduling. And 2011 is a starter deal. My original announcement said the first full BOSS season would be 2012. Rome wasn't built in a day.............

My point was a group that has been around 5 years is getting 20-22 cars and you think that is great.15 cars for a new series is not bad,it's good start to build on.
